Lessons that you learnt so far in your life

Excuse me! Some of us are!! You cheeky monkey take that!

 

Ooooi, you little divvy! You want beef? You want beef?

 

Women are complex creatures capable of creating great joy and brutal sorrow.

Most people are unworthy of respect.

Expecting fairness is creating disappointment.

Life is Hard and then you Die.

 

I've never liked an older man. Outter limits are 3 years my senior, and 3 years my junior. More than that, either way, and we're not travelling through life at the same speed.

 

I'm also in my early 50's, and fitter and firmer than I was at 30. But that's only special amongst my own age group ... it means nothing to 30 year olds. Maybe you should dazzle the middle aged ladeez

 

Just wanted to repeat Wrathful Buddha's pearl about dogs.

They are unequivocally the best creatures on earth. We are always better with them than without them.

 

Must have been the time you figured out the tooth fairy was really your Mom.

 

Wait! Whaaaaaat? You mean that...Oh, Gosh.

 

How our illusions can be so cruelly shattered eh? It has ruined my day!

 

Truthful and kind words mean a lot.
Getting what you want may not be what you want.
Things aren't the key to happiness.
A baby's first laugh is the most beautiful sound you can hear.
Good deeds done in secret are the most rewarding.
Take time to listen to people.
Laugh, smile and be happy.

 

It not only ruined my day I was distraught.

 

Nope. Shut up!

See above.

Then what is?

I prefer their last.

How can you be sure? If they are secrets you cannot really know.

Heeey! Know what!

Overrated.

 

Ritter, that is a funny post.

I also prefer to hear the babies last laugh.

Since, there started to be laughter in this thread.

Another lesson that I learnt recently,
Happiness from food, strip clubs and prostitutes, doesnt last long.

 

[21] Don't pee upwind from an anchored boat.

 

Fat is fat. Age doesn't matter. But I do just fine. In fact, my dating life since divorcing is considered by my friends to be the gold standard. Not to mention that about 80-90% of the women who come up as a match on dating sites, based on age and location, are obese. It is tough for an older man who isn't willing to settle.

Beyond that, I don't like the attitude many women my age have. If they aren't obese, they often seem angry or controlling. Some even chew you out in their profile or make it clear they would be intolerable. I know there are good ones out there but I don't have the time to waste looking. Meanwhile, I've dated a dozen gorgeous young women in their 20s over the last 20 months, since the love of my life left. I am in love with youth and beauty. And a 22 yo made me happier than I thought possible. I'm sticking with what works. Either I'll find true love with a young beauty or I'll die trying.

Lesson in life: Never settle. Go for the gold.

 

Be honest about what makes you happy, especially with yourself.

This is the most important lesson I have learned. And I almost committed suicide rather than admitting the truth to myself.

 

Pizza tastes good.

 

I like instant gratification - If you want a Coke then buy a Coke, why save it for later?

 

1) After one year or forty, your wife should always be your best friend & also the most beautiful person you have ever laid eyes on.

2) Go to work every day. If you stay out till 3:00 am, get yer arse out of bed at the correct time. Other people depend on you. Get there. They don't really care if your hair is combed or not. Work is how you make money & provide for your family. Be that guy.

3) (For your KIDS) Your dad's cell phone is on 24/7. When you're in a jam no matter what time of day or night, and you have run out of options or others to call, call the old man. I will come. No questions.....no lectures.....I will come. It's what I do. (my youngest is in college, so the phone doesn't ring anymore, but it's still on).

4) For my grand kids when they are teenagers. Same as above but even better, call Dziadek. I'll be there,and besides your dad or mom probably did the same stupid stuff.

5) Be honest. If you screwed up, well, you just screwed up. Everyone makes mistakes. It's better to be known as an honest dude than to be known as a liar.

 

Always make sure everything is in the right place, before pulling up your zipper.

 

What I have learned the hardest is about people and how deceptive they can be, while pretending to be a friend. And the ones to really be careful of are the church-going, Bible thumpers. The 'friend' who really taught me that lesson has a sweet angelic face to match her facade of being a 'Christian'..... live and learn - I sure do!

 

I can definitely relate to that. When you a sincere person who isn't calculating or deceptive, or mean, or conniving, other people can sometimes be painfully surprising. My ex wife take the cake though. She pulled off a grand deception for almost 20 years. The funny thing is that she thought she was so freaking smart. In fact it was easy beat her at her own game once I realized it was a game. I didn't marry her because she's the sharpest tool in the shed. And it doesn't take a genius to take advantage of someone's love and trust.

 

I once 'lost it' with my son when he was in short trousers, and smacked his thigh much harder than I intended. It must have hurt him bad because of the subsequent wheal, but he wouldn't cry. I took him into my arms and apologised, and he cuddled me tightly. I've never forgotten that and have always regretted doing it. He's now one of my few friends.

 

Not meaning to put people down but if you have to tell someone you are a Christian, you have failed or your life would be evidence enough. If you don't live it, don't say it. My Father had one of my favorite sayings, "If you can't help someone don't hurt them."

Have no use for Bible thumpers.

 

This may seem rather silly but it is ironclad.Never buy shoes unless they
fit just right { preferably perfect }.Shoes are a big fad item.Women fall prey
like candy.Used to be a fellar had just 2 pair of shoes.One pair for work and
one pair for dress.Maybe a pair of sneakers for work around the house on
the weekends.
